Drop Shipping: The Easiest Way to Sell Online
Dropshipping is an exciting business model, with very few startup costs.
Drop shipping is a retail method in which you don't keep products in stock. Instead, you partner with a wholesale supplier that stocks its own inventory – you transfer customer orders and shipment details to them, and they ship the goods directly to the customer. The biggest benefit of drop shipping is you don't have to worry about fulfillment or inventory issues.
Also, most customers don't know you're drop shipping, since “private label shipping” lets you ship from the wholesaler with a return address and invoice customized to your ecommerce store.
At its most basic, every time someone buys a product, the wholesaler — who typically manufactures the product — ships that product, and you get a portion of that sale for marketing the product. Interesting, right?
Many people shy away from starting an online store because of the startup costs and fulfillment hassles. But imagine if someone offered to pay your up-front inventory costs on thousands of items and manage your fulfillment operations. It'd be much easier to get started, and you could run your business from anywhere in the world. Sound too good to be true? It's not, if you know about drop shipping.
